In a small momentShe accepted credit for something she did not doShe said she'd done the water color in her bedroomBut it was done by a friend from schoolJust a little lieNo one would discoverAt least not very soon

In a small momentJust a little lieWhen she wasn't lookingIt just slipped on by

In a small momentIn a restaurant where she worked the late night shiftShe short changed a sailor and made fiveYou could never really call it a theftJust a little lieSwept up in her apron and kept as a well deserved gift

In a small momentShe cheated on her lover and placed it in the back of her mindAs long as nobody knew the truth about herIt could never really be unkindJust a little liethat slept beside her as she tossed and turned in her alibis

In a small momentJust a little, little lieWhen she wasn't lookingIt just slipped on byJust a little lieWhen she wasn't lookingIt just slipped on by
